    Bulbar symptoms

    Laurie, I appreciate your response. I just can’t imagine that nasal regurgitation and chewing/swallowing issues out of nowhere could have no indication of a neurological disorder. I’ve never had this before and it began suddenly and consistently.

    Bulbar symptoms

    I know I have posted here in the past and I’m sure that will not fare well with many who have graciously taken the time to answer me in the past. Basically have been having the sensation of food going up my nasal passage with swallowing of liquids and solids. No choking, no coughing just can...

    Back after over a year

    Hello all, My name is Ashley I'm a 27 y/o nurse. I posted my concerns in 10/2016. I had had a normal emg as per my neuro with some polyphasic potentials on my right side.

I promise not to waste anymore...

    Convinced I have ALS

    Affected- I apologize for the large block of text. I did read the stickies prior to my post. Last night my right outer thigh and the area between my right thumb and right pointer finger twitched all night until I fell asleep. I realize I have no true clinical weakness at this point but I do...

    Convinced I have ALS

    Nikki J, thank you so much for you reply. I have tried again to attach the pictures. The neuro did acknowledge them but dismissed them saying something along the lines of maybe I was always that way but I've been watching myself too closely this week and it doesn't seem to be the case.
